Cheap & Cute: 5 superfab fall bags under $40

Check these out, too...

  • Trends we heart: Americana
  • 6 handbags every girl should own
You l-o-v-e-d the bags featured in our Oct/Nov ‘12 issue, so here are some more equally awesome clutches, totes and purses to keep your fall bag collection totally on trend.

 

Crochet my heart

With its crochet body and dangling tassels, this crossbody purse is unlike any you’ve seen before.  Try it with sandals now, combat boots later! Plus it’ll get you pumped up for those knit-tastic cozy winter sweaters.
 

E/W Crochet Crossbody, $30, forever21.com

 

Double trouble

Two bags are always better than one. Slip off the studded pouch when you’re headed out for the night, or keep it attached as a too-cool-for-school keychain during the day.
 

Glorious Perfection Bag, $40, urbanog.com

 

Super sharp

This preppy plaid tote is a no-brainer: handy handles and a long crossbody strap mean you get the best of both worlds! Plus, the crisp tartan is perfect for chilly weather.
 
 
 

Dakine Camilla in Tartan, $22, 6pm.com

 

Mod squad

After the Olympics is there anyone who doesn’t love our friends across the ocean?!  This clutch is perfect for those moments when you just don’t want to lug around a huge bag and it’s sooo cute, to boot. (Unfortunately, no British accent included!)
 

Urban Expressions Mod Clutch, $40, dsw.com

 

Wild West

This tote is big enough for everything you’ve got. Plus, the Western pattern is super chic for fall ’12. Pair it with boots and an oversized cardigan and you’ve got a flawless chilly look.
 

Southwest E/W Tote, $33, forever21.com

I just got my first new bag, the problem is I don't know what to put in it. I put in the things that I think I need, but it is really heavy. Help! What do I really need to put in it?

 

Congrats chickiee! We've all been there where we get a little overly-excited about a new bag...so excited, that we throw absolutely everything we can in there to fill it up. For now, I'd stick to the essentials: your phone, wallet, and some make-up for touch-ups. You don't wanna wear out your new bag with all that excess weight of products you won't actually need throughout the day.

I eat healthy, excercise, count my blessing every night, IDK what else I should do, or what I am doing wrong. I guess time heals all?

Hey girl,

You should talk to an adult about how you are feeling! Thinking is great, but you will feel a lot better if you can unload on someone who can offer support and a response in person. Talk to an older family member, teacher or counselor about your feelings -- it will help you so, so much, I promise!

I feel depressed.

Hey girl,

I'm so sorry you feel that way! Things will always get better, and you are so beautiful and amazing, so don't forget to remember everything you love about yourself and your life! I can only imagine how tough things are for you. Because we wish you only the best, it’s extremely important that you speak to a trusted adult, such as a family member, doctor, guidance counselor, teacher, etc. Also, for additional help, including hotlines where you can talk to experts about your feelings, check out: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2008/08/04/HELP!2.aspx

I really want a job or start a business. Problem is, I'm not allowed to babysit, I can't make jewelry to save my life, and I don't know how to maintain lawns. Do you have any good sugestions?

 

Hey! are you old enough to work at a local business?

I have a problem with my hair. Every day at school, by lunch hour, my hair is greasy and oily, and that oil gets on my face. By the end of the day, my hair looks super oily and bad. Can you recommend some tips or products? My hair is a few inches past shoulder length. Thanks in advance!

 

hey! Here are some tips: http://www.girlslife.com/tag/oily-hair.aspx

Ok so im in love with these bags, but it sucks that no one really carries or uses a purse (maybe it just were i live, you kinda look poserish if you have a purse) im 13, but all of my friends and i have super strict parents, and they go with us EVERYWERE, so it would look kinda stupid with me being the only one just carrying a purse, with my friends and my mom. what do you think?

 

Hey! To me it's a convenience thing. if you have stuff you need to carry around, get a purse. no one can call you a poser for doing that Smile

School started about 2 weeks ago. I have a ton of homework every night along with studying and I'm also on the tennis team so I don't get home from school until about 6. I've been getting quite a few tension headaches because of the long, stressful, and busy days.
What should I do to relax during the week, especially when I have such little time?

 

Hey! well what do you like to do? plan out small chunks of time for reading, yoga, tv, or whatever relaxes you most. even a little bit can help!

They're all super adorable, but it's not like they're super cheap. On the "under $40" list half of them are 40$. You can get the same style of bags for a super cheap price anywhere.

I know poeple say "You are as happy as you choose to be" but it's not as simple as saying "I'm going to be a happy person" it's really not. How can I be happy?

Hey girl,

Try focusing on the positive things in your life, even things that don't seem that important! Once you start remembering everything good about being you and having your life, it will be a lot easier to be happy! And if you're down, talk to a trusted adult about your feelings. You don't have to keep everything to yourself, so create a support system of family and friends! You are never alone!
